Announced at CES 2006, the Fujifilm FinePix F470 is a compact digital camera that offers bare bones features in a bare bones housing. Strangely, it follows in a line of somewhat stylish and definitely thin models, including the square-shaped F450. The camera is very slim and is easily transportable in a pants pocket. This beginner’s model has 6 megapixels on a 1/2.5-inch CCD and a Fujinon 3x optical zoom lens with a 2.5-inch LCD screen, but the screen has only 115,000 pixels on it. It has 16 MB of internal memory, television-quality movie clips, ten scene modes, and a mode that allows access to a few manual selections. The Fujifilm FinePix F470 will be available in March for $279.
